Buddy and I checked out that boat last spring. Not to offend anyone on the board here if it's your boat but,,,,,,, broker claimed boat was perfect. Drove from NY to Mi to check it out. Lets just say it certainly was not "perfect". That resulted in me verbally biotch slapping that broker. Needless to say, no deal was made.

It is a very nice color scheme though. Quite rare and eye-catching. Too bad though.

You want to make the height tall enough to stand under. Then once the height is determined you can decide where you want the bimini to lay. This will determine where the bimini hinges. To give you an idea, here is a picture of a camper canvas that was put on my old scarab.

Hi, I have a full set of camper canvas / bimini rig on my 89 242 ss, if you are still in need of some pix I could rig it up and snap a few.

I'm not sure where the prev.owner got it made but it's all like brand new right now, I've only had it up once to inspect it and it spends the rest of its time pretending to be a radar arch.

Hi Activox,

Id still like to see some pics if you dont mind.

Id like a close up of the attachment points of the Bimini along with dimensions of the framework to enable me to construct my own Bimini & camping covers.

Thanks.

Jon.

No prob, just wanted to make sure you still needed em cause this thread is pretty old. I will see if I can get out there today and get you a bunch of pix and dimensions of the whole setup, glad to help.

Heya R-Don,

I finally got off my butt and took those pictures I promised, I put them up at http://www.activox.com/bimini/ if you want to take a look. When I get a chance I will go out with the tape measure and give you the exact dimensions of the mount points if you like.

I didn't get a chance to zip on the rest of the camper canvas to take pix of the full setup, but I do have the manufacturer info from the tag. The photo I took of the tag is crap so I wrote the info down:

Aldon Industries, Sarasota, FL
Model: 088656302401
Date: 10/7/88
No: 205

Sending along one pic in the thread, check the link I posted above for a couple dozen pix at different angles and etc. Hope this is helpful, will post up the dimensions here tomorrow.

Guys ....please ...all respect to the pics here .....but Geeeeeeeeeeeezzz ...why do they have to put the Bimini about 8' above the boat .. I am seriously thinking about a top but no way could I do that ... I seen a cpl that are low profile and dont look to bad ... I also talked to a guy that builds "T" tops and when I get a trailer plan to let him look at the boat. But I want to be able to remove the top so not sure if that will work. before I got my 311 I looked at a 272 down in Melborne and the guy had a custom top made and it really did not look to bad. Also had lights mounted.
We go out alot in the late afternoon and get back after dark. You need some lighting to flash the "protection Pilings" for the Manatee ....
More pics if interested
